How therapeutic approaches meet online care
Ganiyat draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to identify personal values that guide meaningful action - this approach can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and stress. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore patterns in close relationships, helping clients understand how early attachments can influence intimacy, trust, and relationship difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another key element of her work - it focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to relieve symptoms of anxiety, depression, sleeping or eating concerns, and other everyday challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Ganiyat works collaboratively with each client to select and adapt methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences so the plan feels practical and personally relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow clients to attend sessions from different locations and fit therapy into busy schedules, while still working with registered professionals who tailor care to each person’s circumstances.
